Below the settings are a 'Save' button as well as an 'Add New Hotspot' button (which you can click to insert an additional hotspot into the image).
Let's go through each of the 3 expandable settings sections...
General Settings
The 'General Settings' section contains the following fields and settings:
- Section heading text - Enter your desired heading text for the section/block. This text will appear at the top of the section/block above the shoppable image. If you prefer not to show a heading, simply leave this field blank. (Note: Options for the font size, spacing and alignment of the heading text are in the Advanced Settings section below.)
- Image - Click the 'Add image' button and upload an image from your computer. This will be the shoppable image. You can upload a GIF, JPG or PNG image.
- Image width - Use the dropdown to choose what percentage of the section's (or block's) width the image should use: 25%, 33%, 50%, 67%, 75% or 100%. (Note: The remaining portion of the page width will be used to show the 'Side heading text', 'Description' and button you configure below.)
- Image position - Use the dropdown to choose whether the image will appear on the left or right. The 'Side heading text', 'Description' and button (configured below) will appear on the other side. (Note: If you selected 100% image width above, this setting is irrelevant.)
- Side heading text - Enter your desired heading text to show to the left/right of the shoppable image. Here again, if you prefer not to show a heading, leave this field blank. (Note: If you selected 100% image width above and also enter 'Side heading text' (along with 'Description' text and/or a button), the side heading/description/button will appear below the shoppable image.)
- Description - Enter the textual content you want to appear below the side heading. Leave this field blank if you don't want to show any side content.
- Button color - Use the color selector tool to choose the color of the button. (Note: You can change the color of the text itself in the Advanced Settings section below.)
- Button text - If you want to show a clickable button below the side heading and/or description text, enter the text for the button here. To hide the button, delete the button text (i.e. leave this field blank).
- Button destination URL - Enter the full URL (including the https:// prefix) of the page you want the button to link to.
- Description & button alignment - Use the dropdown to choose whether you want the description text (and button, if activated) to be left- or center-aligned.
Please note that the 'General Settings' section only contains the most basic settings for the section/block. There are many other settings in the Advanced Settings section below.
Hotspot(s) - One Expandable Section Per Hotspot
By default, there will only be one (1) hotspot section when you first create a new shoppable image. To add additional hotspots to the image, simply click the 'Add New Hotspot' button at the very bottom of the settings box (right next to the 'Save' button).
The first 3 settings in this 'Hotspot' section are:
- Hotspot horizontal position (X axis) - Use the slider to choose how far across the image (from left to right) the hotspot should be. For example, if the horizontal position of the hotspot should be 32.5% the way across the image (starting at the left), you would set the slider to 32.5%. (Note: The slider moves in increments of 0.5%.)
- Hotspot vertical position (Y axis) - Use the slider to choose how far up the image (from bottom to top) the hotspot should be. For example, if the vertical position of the hotspot should be 71.0% the way up the image (starting at the bottom), you would set the slider to 71.0%. (Note: The slider moves in increments of 0.5%.)
- Select product/page - Click the 'Select' button to select the product, collection or page the hotspot should link to. (Note: While you will usually select a product here, you don't have to. You can also select a collection page, blog page, informational page, or even enter a URL for another site.)
The remainder of the hotspot settings depend on which type of page you just selected:
